Overview
Itinerary
Day 1: Kampla - Bwindi
Stop At: Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Kabale, Western Region Leaving Kampala very early, it’s a full day’s drive through the beautiful Ugandan countryside to the ancient rainforests of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. On the way, skirt the north-eastern shores of Lake Victoria, and climb into the mountainous south-western region of Uganda through terraced hillsides dotted with traditional settlements. Expect to arrive at our picturesque accommodation on the edge of the forest in the late afternoon. Overnight Buhoma Community Rest Camp / Engagi Lodge / Buhoma Lodge Duration: 4 hours
Stop At: Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Kabale, Western Region Bwindi is a magnificent green swathe of dense rainforest and is one of the most biologically diverse areas on earth and a recently proclaimed World Heritage Site. Begin your gorilla trek in the early morning, and set off into the tangled and mist-shrouded forests with guides and trackers who are very experienced at locating the gorillas by finding the nest the family had used the previous night. The search for these majestic animals goes through thick untamed rainforest, where you will be scrambling over mossy rocks and through deep undergrowth and it can be arduous at times. But when you come face to face with the gorillas for the first time, the trek there will be more than worth it, and watching gorillas in their natural habitat is a memory that will last a lifetime. After spending an hour with the gorillas we head back to the base camp for a late lunch and a relaxing afternoon. Overnight Buhoma Community Rest Camp / Engagi Lodge / Buhoma Lodge Duration: 6 hours
Stop At: Kampala Fair, Kampala, Central Region Departing early in the morning start your journey back to Kampala stopping for lunch en route. Expect to arrive back in the city in the early evening after a quick but exhilarating visit to the mountain gorillas. Duration: 4 hours
